[The Battlefield Near The Giant Stone Shrine, Before Damian's Arrival, Lucian's POV]
Lucian poured all the mana she could guide with her mana threads connecting to her liquid mana containers inside the giant steel pillar—just like Mindseer and Maelor were doing it, beside her. The mana was turning into smoke filled with mana and was being distributed to all steel pillars connected to this one throughout the giant stone shrine, providing mana to power all the runic weapons present there.
It was an ingenious creation, Lucian had to admit. And a fatal one, specially combined with these liquid mana containers.
When Damian had said earlier they would create a city that could never be defeated by anyone in battle—a sanctuary for the masses—Lucian had always felt like he underestimated the power of the Sea Serpent and the armies of the four kingdoms.
One man, no matter how powerful, was still just one person.
